Somebody please help me :(

FTM here with a baby with a cold :( He is 6 months, is there cold medicine I can give him? Or anything at all that I can do? He seems like he has some chest congestion, a lot of caughing and sneezing, he's very grumpy and won't sleep for more than a half an hour at a time. For his health and my sanity any information would be so appreciated!

Cold medicine isn't safe until at least 4 years old unless okayed by a doctor. You can use saline and a bulb syringe for nasal congestion. You can give Tylenol for aches and pains. Use a humidifier in the bedroom at night. You can also find a waterless vaporizer that has a soothing vapor that helps with congestion. Vicks and Pediacare make them.

We do the humidifier, vapor bath, vapor plug ins to the wall (looks like a night light), the snot sucker. Have them fall asleep on your chest or sleeping upright then moving them to their bed and cross your fingers!! Good luck!!
